A friend of mine gave me a big bowl of this salad, and I devoured it with a nice dollop of sriracha. It’s cooling, creamy, crunchy, salty, and very, very satisfying. It tastes a bit like the cucumber and avocado sushi, but better.

This makes a very nice side dish to just about anything!

Cucumber Avocado Salad, adapted from various sources on Internet

1 avocado, pitted, peeled and cubed

2 tall English cucumbers, peeled and cubed (seeded if the seeds are big)

1 TB mirin

1 1/2 TB rice vinegar

2 TB soy sauce

1 tsp sugar

1 TB sesame oil

1 TB roasted sesame seeds

Mix all and set aside for about 10 minutes for flavors to blend (fridge is okay).
